Middleburg Selection Weekend 16-18 October

Many thanks to all Rotarians, Annes and fellow applicants for an enriching weekend spent at the Middleburg Care Village. Although there was a natural level of stress for the applicants, the abiding sense of fellowship and good humour on the part of the Selection Committee helped us to relax and enjoy the various simulations and exercises. The process was well designed and extremely thorough. Irrespective of the need to select five applicants from a talented pool of young professionals, the weekend gave each of us an opportunity for personal growth and reflection.

The members for the April-May 2010 GSE to Connecticut are:
André Brandmuller (Team Leader)
Murray Thomas
Shaun Francis
Jeanne-Louise Liebenberg
Shaakira Chaya
Moiseraela Motimedi
